Peterborough - Burton Albion - 26.01.2016 / England
The second placed Burton Albion travel to London Road Stadium, where Peterborough will host them tonight. Posh find themselves in 7th position, with 41 points from 27 games. They are coming into this game after losing 2:1 at Gillingham on Saturday. They usually struggle when they play against top 6 teams,managing to only win against Millwall since the beginning of the season. However, they are decent at home with 3 wins in their last 5 outings at London Road Stadium but have only managed to keep a clean sheet 3 times in their 13 home fixtures in League One.
Meanwhile, Burton Albion are 2nd in the table with 54 points from 26 matches so far. They have won 7 of their last 9 matches in the league and only lost their last fixture at home against Shrewsbury. After the unneeded drop of points against the Shrews they will be highly motivated to achieve a good result at Peterborough.
As for team news, Peterborough sold their top scorer Conor Washington to QPR last week and might be a bit short of attacking options, whereas Gabriel Zukani (hamstring), Jermaine Anderson (knee), Joe Gormley (knee) are all out injured tonight’s clash. Burton boss Nigel Clough will be boosted by the return of midfielder Robbie Weir who completed his suspension and Shane Cansdell-Sheriff who missed last game due to a groin injury. Darius Charles and Tom Flanagan remain sidelined for the Brewers.
We believe that even though Burton Albion lost their home match against Shrewsbury they will be highly motivated to get at least a point and regain the top spot in League One.
